Tribal Historic Preservation Office Updates

Edith Leoso, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer -

oozhoo Indawemaaganiidoog!! Hello all

my relatives!!
The THPO Office is moving forward! This year we
successfully acquired two grants totaling nearly
$150,000.00 to develop and operate the ia
Moka’aangiizis-iban (Rising Sun -in Spirit form) Museum! Before our Elder Joe Rose Sr. moved into the
Spirit realm, he desired for a Museum to be developed
to showcase our beautiful culture, history, Ojibwemowin, dance and song. He intended to loan some
of his own collection to this effort to develop those
exhibits and worked with the Tribal Planning Department and THPO Office to plan the Museum space. He *
indicated that it should have low to no direct sun light to
prevent deterioration to any items exhibited in the museum.
Today, we have a space in the center of the remodeled old
clinic building, which we are calling, for lack of a formal
name, the Culture & Education Center, “CEC” for short.
This building houses the THPO Office, Education Department, Archives, Library and Museum, and other culturally
relevant MNRD programming, such as, the Manomin Program, Non-Local Beings Program (formerly known as the
Invasive Species Program), Climate Change Program and
Indigenous Arts and Sciences Program.
The two grants that we were awarded were, the Department
of Interior - National Park Service — Historic Preservation
Fund (HPF) Grant for $50,000, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Grant for $94,992.00. The
HPF grant will assist us in developing a “Manomin Exhibit”
and develop a virtual tour of the Kakagon Sloughs. The
IMLS Grant has created a new Museum Manager position,
which will work to manage both grants and further develop
policies and procedures for exhibit development and overall
Museum Management. This grant will assist us in develop-

ing policies to guide the processes of operating the Muse-

um, such as, the acquisition process for museum exhibit items.

Currently, we have no process in place and we have been arbitrarily accepting gifted materials as they are presented. However, our storage space is limited, and that practice of accepting
donated items will cease until a written policy and process is in
place to properly acquire exhibit items and ensure long-term
care and accountability of those items.

Speaking of gifted items, one of our recent acquisitions was an
unexpected donation from the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual
Adoration (F.S.P.A.) from St. Rose College in La Crosse, Wisconsin. They delivered 24- Oil on board paintings by Peter

T.. Bad River Reservation is home to a few endangered species. The most notable species that call Bad
River their home are Ma’iingan (Gray Wolves; Canis
lupus) and Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus). There
may also be a couple that you might not realize are endangered as well, such as the monarch butterfly
(Danaus plexipus).

Ma’iingan

Ma’iingan can be found in Bad River throughout the entire year. Gray
wolves will occupy their denning
grounds from March all the way
through July. Starting in late July to

early August is when we’re able to monitor wolves through
howl surveys to track reproductive success and pups. Here on
Bad River, we were able to confirm at least 4 packs through
these howl surveys, of which at least 3 of them with pups this
year.

Piping Plover

Piping plovers are a small shorebird noted for the black brow
band and black neck band. They spend their

summers and nest on the sandy beaches of the ©
Great Lakes. They return to the sandy shores
during May and will make their nests in early
June. The nest stays busy though as both parents take turns incubating with one always

TJ “Whe non-local beings program is beginning to ramp up its efforts to control
non-local cattail populations, focusing

on Bear Trap Creek and neighboring areas for the

remainder of the Summer season. These specifically include controlling non-native narrow-leaf
cattail and the hybrid varieties (invasive

apakweshkway, Typha angustifolia and typha x

glauca, respectively). We also take time this year

to (revisit Oak point and evaluate and treat a

known, previously treated, phragmites population

or Common Reed (P. Australis), located in the
pink areas on the picture. Our long-term goal is to
eradicate this population from Oak Point. The
previous two years MNRD staff have partnered
with GLIFWC to revisit, evaluate, treat and manage this population mainly to make sure that strategies are helping to continually suppress this population, and make sure that it does not spread.

We also begin to wrap up our boat launch
monitoring work at both Second Landing
and Bad River Landing. With the cooler
temperatures ahead, we still anticipate significant traffic in and out of these landings
and are working vigilantly to monitor for
any signs of aquatic invasive species (AIS)
present on any watercraft or motor vehicles
operating on or near the boat launches, including not just anglers but also recreational
users operating canoes, kayaks, stand-up
paddle boards or jet skis. Two such species
of concern are the non-local Quagga and
Zebra Mussel species (Dreissena bugensis
and D. polymorpha). While native mussels
are known to populate and thrive in several
rivers and streams of the Bad River Reservation (see
https://wiatri.ne/inventory/mussels/About/
mussel Waters.cfin for more information),
non-native mussels also threaten the reservation. Dreissena spp. were first introduced

to the great lakes from unintentional
discharge of contaminated ballast
water in commercial vessels operating
in North America in the late 1980’s
and early 1990’s. They are known to
have prolific reproductive success,
with females producing tens of thousands of viable eggs annually, and are
highly adapted filter feeders, capable
of consuming and filtering phytoplankton from water at a rate of at
least a single quart per day. The resulting water clarity depletes the food
supply of any neighboring aquatic
plants and organisms including fish.

The Tribe still faces many challenges with
addressing radon effectively. COVID has
been the most recent challenge and contributed to a complete halt in testing during
2021. The AQT worked with the Housing
Authority to address this gap in testing and
begun testing each unit regularly starting

bers. The Program has annual testing from January to March and has continued to work with the Bad
River Housing Authority (BRHA) and private homeowners with testing and addressing radon issues, as needed.

The BRHA has been a great partner in addressing radon
effectively. Since 2006 the BRHA has tested each housing
unit at least once. There has been a total of eight housing
units that have tested above the United States Environmental Agency’s (USEPA) action level have a radon miti-

gation (reduction) system and shall continue to be tested in

the future to assure effectiveness of systems and analyze

this year. Next year testing will commence

in January and go until April of 2023.

Ultimately, the only way to know if your home has high
indoor radon concentrations is to test. If high levels are
found there are solutions, the Bad River Tribal Indoor
Radon Program can assist in locating contractors and
possibly funds towards installing mitigation systems and
other solutions. If you have any questions please contact

oozhoo miinawa Aaniin, ezha ayaayan? Nimino ayaa!

Miigwech Gichii-manidoo for the relative normalcy that we are
appreciating one and a half years after returning to the office from
tele-working. We are fortunate. Some offices are still limiting the
number of employees at their facility at one time. However, working
in the woods has always limited the amount of human contact, not to

mention the added health benefits of becoming one with nature.

Mashkiiziibii Natural Resources’ Forestry has been in the woods doing field audits, checking the work of the contracted foresters that are
completing our Trust Lands Inventory Project. They are doing a fine
job, making very few mistakes. We hired Green Timber Consulting
Foresters out of Pelkie, Michigan to measure and count a portion of

our trees.

This information is proving itself to be useful in determining where
timber management is needed. We are in the process of writing the
10-Year Timber Harvest and Development plan that will go before
Tribal Council towards the end of this calendar year. If you know of
an area that is in need of thinning or improvement, please reach out

and let us know the details so that we can add it to our 10 Year Plan.

We are also developing Forestry Best Management Practices document. Our contractor, Renewable Resource Solutions from Crystal
Falls, Michigan is drafting that document with ample input from various programs within our Natural Resources Department. We are looking to open the document to you, our tribal members, for public comment also toward the end of this calendar year. We hope that you will
take a look and let us know if you have input. This document will

guide loggers, foresters, land owners, and contractors working
within the Reservation boundaries (similar to the Wisconsin
BMP’s that the state uses) for guidance to protect tribal re-

sources.

We are also implementing the 3-year timber harvest plan approved by council in March of 2021. The red pine on Birch Hill
is ready to be thinned, as we marked it last year for removal.
Only 1/3 of the red pine will be removed, much of it misshapen
and overtopped. We left the better looking trees to grow, along
with the ample oak that will benefit from the thinning. Please

call with questions or concerns!

We have been benefitting from the sale of aspen and ash on the
Mack Road Fee Land parcel, just east of the Veterinarian Clinic
in Ashland. The parcel is seeing visual improvement, and the
oak that is being retained will benefit the most! We encourage
you to drive by and take a look. This stand is looking similar to
how others will as we remove aspen from stands, one by one. If
you did not know there had been 300 cords of aspen removed,
you would not be able to tell that a timber harvest happened
here! That is one example of the gentle forestry that we promise
to hold to.

Please contact me at 715-685-8929 or Forester@ badrivernsn.goy with any questions or comments. We are here

to serve you, your ancestors, and the 7th generation

ahead. Miigwech.

detection and rapid response. The free-swimming
larval ‘veligers’ (developing shells) and adults
(fully developed shells) can attach to several kinds
of surfaces with sticky byssal threads making them
gifted hitchhikers and easily moved through human man-made paths. These sources of attachment
include the boat itself, trailers, marine motors and
propellers, anchors, rocks, boat lifts, wood, glass,
and pipes. The Wisconsin DNR is also urging
Wisconsinites to think twice about removing and
discarding moss balls commonly used in aquariums, as these have been detected in common retail
providers. Information about proper disposal can

The Spiny Water Flea (Bythotrephes longimanus
or B. cederstroemi) is another non-local organism
threatening native fish and
food webs of the reservation. An invasive aquatic
crustacean, this species
predominantly lives in cold

and open water habitats but can also tolerate
brackish and warm waters. Spiny water flea
also reproduces asexually through a process
called parthenogenesis, meaning females reproduce without mating with males. Also a
predator, Spiny Water Flea disrupt food webs
by consuming zooplankton critical to algae
availability and juvenile fish development
such as Daphnia. Since no known predators
have (yet) been discovered, and fish do not
consume them since the long spiny tails can
get caught in the gills, Spiny Water Flea has
no method or strategy of control or suppression. Once introduced and established, they
cannot be suppressed, eradicated or controlled.
The best method then is to contain it within its
current range and prevent moving it (more

attending the nest. Thankfully for the plovers, this doesn’t
last long as the eggs will hatch in less than 30 days. To
make things even easier for the parents, the chicks are
able to walk and forage right out of the egg and can even
fly in a matter of 3 weeks.

On Bad River, the plovers are only found on
Chequamegon Point, but there is a potential for other
sites, such as the mouth of the Bad River. Out on the
Point, there is consistent monitoring to make sure the
plovers aren’t disturbed as well as allowing us to track
their population. This year, there was a record setting
population on the Point with six nests and twenty-two
chicks that fledged.

Monarch butterflies are new additions to
the list of endangered species, only being added to
the red-list this past July.
Monarchs will have multiple generations through out
the summer until early fall, where they will then migrate
down to their overwinter sites in Mexico and hibernate until
spring of next year. Monarch butterflies, like most butterflies, will feed on the nectar of most flowers as adults, and
help spread the pollen. As a caterpillar, however, monarchs
will exclusively feed on milk weed and the loss of this milkweed is what caused them to become endangered.

provide us feedback that we’ll find invaluable in shaping the revisions of the IRMP.

The 2001 version of the IRMP was shaped by 707 survey responses solicited from the community in 1994 with only 83 of those
